2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Alpina B7 xDrive? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Alpina B7 xDrive testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are BMW Alpina B7 xDrive engine noises bad? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil.

  • What could damage my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I add water to my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Alpina B7 xDrive radiator in emergencies.
